the bear.
"Ah, you breaka up such ? pot as
that" he cried. "Carajol" And he
blazed away at the shaggy head.
There was howl, a charge, and a
rush of the players out Of the tent.
They did not wait Ia seize. their gnns.
The bear knocked down a tent pole
at one end, aud Farhney carried away
the other as he plunged out headlong.
The tent came down on the bear and
enveloped him. For an instant there
was young earthquake under the
canvas. Then II became volcanic
disturbance. The lamp exploded and
set fire to the whole Pass. The plug
must have been knocked out of the
big oil can by the bears vigorous an
tics. All the oil was blaze in an
instant, and tent, blankets, and bear
were enveloped in flames. ArSuello,

their revolvers on them, and they
stood around and added to the bears

rushed blindly about, striking furious
" at trees and everything in his way.
Pieces Of the tent clung to him, and

teeth and sent blazing fragment flying
in all directions. His shaggy hair
had become saturated with oil here

ping merrily in patches. His fury
was something frightful, and his gen.
eral aspect decidedly demoniac. At
first he did not see any of the party,
but in one of his mad whirls he caught
sight OF Smith, who had just fired at
him. The bear charged on Smith,
who turned and ran like a deer, with
the blazing bear in literally hot rnr-
suit. Smith did not notice the dlrec-
ton he took until, in half a dozen

The ApvENT or TwINs.-A little
further along in days, nothing could
have astonished Joe and Sary, gram
nv and people, more than did the ap-
pearance of twins. Everything in or
about Weasel Branch in the shape of
signs, miracles and monstrosity le-
gends yielded the palm to their ad-
vent.
When Joe was called from behind
the stable-which was his favorite
place Of refuge in time OF trouble,
anxiety, deep speculation or thank
fulness-where he had been walking
up and down for hours with unnerved
strides and with every sense of heart
bent on sounds from his cabin, and
shown the duplicate of his expecta-
tions, he took a long breath, and spent
its full force in Surely :" Then Civ
ing the joyful face of his wife a hearty
kiss, he exclaimed: We've started
settlement agin, Sary, by gum :"
and striding out of the cabin with the
air of an emperor, he chalked on the
doors of two Of the vacant cabins near
est his own, "TAKEN.

EDNA'S AMBITION.

On, Edna, you look loveller thar
ever tonight l wish Keith could
see YOU"
"kelth-pshaw He always ad.
mlges. | am attired tonight for the
pleasure of more critical persons than
Mr.. Keith Lowell"
Il suppose you mean Aunt Barbara
and old Mr.. Grayson."
Euthie spoke this last rather con-
temptuously, but the pretty blonde be-
fore the mirror only shrugged her
white shoulders and smiled carelessly.
Edna Morris was very fair, OF a
type called the Spanish blonde, with
ivory-tinted skin, and languid, dark
brown eyes, and glorious ripping
mass Of golden hair.
Her stately form was draped in
creamy surah, with veilings Of lace
and clusters of deep red roses.
"lt was very kind Of Aunt Barbara
to permit me to choose my own cos
tune, she said, turning about for a
last survey. Her taste is execrable.
Where my fan, Ruthie? oh, look
here -
As Ruthie stepped out to give her
the feathered ornament, her form was
reflected in the mirror, and with
light laugh Edna drew her attention
TO the picture they made side by side;
the proud beauty, with her simmer
ing robes and snowy shoulders, and
the little figure in he plain wooden
gown.
As Euthie looked up her eyes grew
dim anil her sensitive lips quivered.
There never mind" said Edna.
Fine feathers make fire birds, you
know, and though you are a plain lit
tie boy, you'd look very well in
dress like this. Wait till m married
dear, and you shall have a dozen such
dresses
When Keith makes fortune, |
suppose, said Rnthie.
Always Keith - exclaimed the
blonde, with pout. Why, he's as
poor As a church mouse, and you
know my ambition is to be rich wo-
man; a wealthy mans bride, since na-
ture has denied me any fortune but
pretty face. There how serious You
look Well. I must go-the carriage
has been waiting fully twenty min.
utes.
And gathering up her surah drape-
ries she swept out of the bare little
room, and Euthie left to herself, be-
gan to wonder why she had not been
beautiful too.
Life Is easier for beautiful wcmen,"
she thought, picking up a rose that
had been left, and fastening it in her
dusky braids. "Everybody loves and
admlreS them, and they get all the ia
vors. But | wish Edna would not
talk As she does-I know she loves
Keith and he adores her, and yet"
\ heavy rap on the outside door
startled her, and she had Just time to
reach the threshold Of the adjoining
room, when young man, with a
handsome, sunny face, burst in unoer-
enormously. and threw himself into
one Of the easy chairs.

THE NEW LICENSE ACT.

Following is the full text of an amend
